I think you need to add /subsystem:console for a console application.

The current status of Windows port of LLD is that it can link a small
program like yours or little bit more complicated ones. I haven't tried to
self-host LLD, but I believe it cannot do yet. The linker depends on some
third party tools, namely cvtres.exe and rc.exe, for resource file. I want
to eliminate that dependency in the future, though.

Maybe I can produce correct results by specifying -target, but I
